♥ celebrate we will.

 this weekend, nick and i returned to the red lion inn, where we

 spent a lovely late-anniversary afternoon toasting champagne, 

tasting their new menu, and lounging in a quiet hotel 

room without the hustle and bustle of 

a wedding day to prepare for. 

we both wish that we could get married here every year--

but in the very least, we can make it a point to visit more

 often for anniversaries & other special occasions.

 (my birthday this year is on 12.12.12, hint hint hint ;)

i decided to break out my brand new 50's style dress, that i received

 care of the lovely e-shop, eshakti (see a similar version in cobalt!)

i am totally obsessed with the cut of this dress- it reminds me of

the vintage frocks i often wear and then complain,

"they don't make 'em like this anymore." 

so, the next time i say it, please tell me to shut up and site this post as a reference.

we also stepped away for a bit to go to the grizzly bear show, 

which was too incredible for words. listening to their music is one thing-

but for someone with an untrained ear- seeing them in concert adds a

whole new element to the experience. there really is nothing like

listening to your favorite music with your favorite person.

or the whole rest of your life, for that matter.
